Default RE: Need a new stick!

I'm kind of looking for a plane that nobody else has.
Better look at something else than a stick.

I have written page after page about the Hangar 9 Pulse, so in the interest of saving wear and tear on my fingers, I believe it is probably the best alternative on the market to the stick type airplane. Here is my review:

I was at the field last night and there were 5 H9 sticks! Albeit they fly great, but I like to swim against the current.
I'm kind of sick at looking at sticks myself, but I've been flying them since 1977. I've had them in all sizes and colors, nitro and electric, high and low wing. Even though they don't look so great, and I've already had too many of them, there is really nothing like them and you need to have at least one if for nothing more than to use a test mule for radio equipment and engines. Not so oddly, that's exactly what Phil Kraft designed the original Ugly stick for in the early 60s.

I'm afraid any stick you get isn't going to be as nice as the Ultra Stick, so you are either going to have to have the same Ultra stick as everyone else, or settle for something less. Or...........you can try something a little different. The Pulse flies very similar to an Ultra Stick, though is is slightly less aerobatic. It makes up for that by being smoother and more forgiving, and certainly more attractive.
